siobhan’s translation of latin

dimension 20, the unsleeping city, dropput, siobhan thompson, brennan lee mulligan, nobody dies if you remember them, no day shall erase you from the memory of time, civic building latin, nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo

we got a whole lotta nerds in this comment section
edit: and by this i mean chill with all the “she wasn’t even close” stuff, this was just supposed to be a siobhan appreciation video lol

[humorlessclown]

I think what was rather impressive wasn’t the translation but that her statement was the *colloquial* wording of a rather formal/fancy worded idiom. That was pretty cool.

[kgallchobhair]

Siobhan's just like "hold on, I have to parse through all these grammatical errors but I think I get the gist"
😂

[animalkin]

And she did it VERBALLY with just spoken word, that’s mad impressive

[mishapenmoonmoth]

i took 4 years of latin, i still would’ve needed that appendix at the back of my textbook to remember half of those words. holy. shit. siobhan.

[Throckmorpheus]

god i had forgotten that she just does it in real time without having to even stop to think what in the fuck

[werderlebenslang]

Isn't she originally an archeologist? That's probably why her Latin is so good. Still bloody impressive though.

I just rewatched the first season of Unsleeping City and when she continues "Auld Lang Syne" in a beautiful, angelic voice while everyone else's face is just like "...there's more to the song??"

I’ve followed Siobhan since her “one woman, 17 British accents” video years ago - her language skills are off the charts IMO. 😀

[Danmarinja]

I can’t tell if I’m more impressed by the Latin translation or by her getting it despite Brennan *butchering* the pronunciation

[dragonflies]

I also had five years of Latin, difference is, I don't remember shit. What the fuck Siobhan

[rhombicosidodecahedron]

Okay it is incredibly impressive and awesome, but this is also written in massive letters in the 9/11 memorial museum. I assume because she didn't mention it that she didn't know/remember that but I do think it's a cool bit of New York history that Brennan snuck in there.

I love seeing the Bilingual Blink in action, you can so clearly see the thought process of "ok I know word x y and then something something z, so I can guess the context and it was probably this"

I'm sure if she'd had it written down in front of her she'd be able to get the more poetic translation given her level of expertise but as someone who is only kinda fluent in the language they're learning its just nice to see representation of the process lol, only knowing half of the sentence but being confident enough to guess the rest

[baboo]

I almost died when this happened. I got so excited in the moment when everybody is quite and brennan breaks the silence saying she's right. SO GOOD I NEED TO REWATCH THIS.

Siobhan is someone you want on the team when you trapped in a dungeon. With her knowledge, you don’t need NAT 20’s

[love_in_idleness]

wild how she can just immediately do that
also I’m here for more tuc2 clips

[Stefanos]

When your wizard player just happens to be a wizard in real life.

[FlamingLily]

She didn't even just translate it. She straight up localised it into normal English

[jazzycat]

People in the comments like "ummmm its not a good translation actually"
fam she can't see it, she's only heard it once, and it was through Brennan's atrocious pronounciation

[BeroKyandi]

I couldn’t get into the first few eps of TUC2 but the clips are convincing me to give it another shot…
